It’s been a long time since I last wrote a reading note… I don’t even know whether lately I’ve been lazy, decadent, irritable, depressed, fallen, or just down in the dumps… On the one hand, I’ve been reading much less, and when I do read I can’t be bothered to jot down any notes or impressions; at most I just use a highlighter to mark things directly in the book, sigh…… 

This is a book worth recommending. 

The author of this book is the same person who wrote *An Introduction to Science and Religion*. 

The book is not thick, and in four parts it introduces the core of Christianity (Jesus), its doctrines (including theology), its history, and its way of life, providing readers in a very concise, clear, and comprehensive way with a first introduction to Christianity. Christianity is the core of Western culture, so some broad familiarity with it is only right; this book can serve both as a popular introductory reader and as an introductory, guiding text for university students. It is very good.
